our people well one issue where the presidential candidates have shown stark differences is the environment's compare their records and proposals from withdrew from the paris climate agreement in 2017 just a year after it was signed under the obama biden administration he said it was unfair to the united states in leaving it would save jobs but the former vice president says that he will rejoin that agreement if elected trump is removed multiple regulations allowing drilling in previously protected areas biden promises greater funding for renewable energy while banning new oil and gas drilling on public lands as emissions continue to go down under his administration and some attribute that to initiatives taken by state governors and local mayors and biden is proposing the united states reach 0 carbon emissions by 2052 trillion dollars plan would be paid for by increasing taxes on corporations and wealthy americans

say now from bill mckibben who is an environmentalist and schumann distinguished scholar in environmental studies at middlebury college in vermont he says addressing the climate crisis depends not only on who is president but on who controls congress. the u.s. put more kerman into the atmosphere than any other country over the historical period and it's probably the only country that can figure out how to coordinate a global response it's withdrawal from the paris climate accords was a great gift to the oil industry because it let it get on with its task of trying to just keep things the way they are it's going to take in an activist effort on the part of the u.s. and all the other major emitters to get us back on track with paris indeed to go beyond what the paris accords called for the impact on jobs of moving towards a global energy is all to the good there already far more jobs in renewable energy than there are in fossil fuel but that differential will just keep growing because

11:21 am
a mind of for everybody all the lockdown that pertained in the spring the difference this time around is not everything that was locked down that was closed down back in the spring is closed down now so for example schools remain open and many teachers are unhappy about the fact that schools remain open but nevertheless they do remain open and the reason behind all of this is the rising number of new infections the rising death rate now the interesting figure that you were just saying then nic about the number announced on monday that's the highest number ever announced on a monday that's not the highest number ever announced on any given day but on a monday on weekends usually the numbers that are gathered by the relevant authorities in the federal republic are amalgamated and that sort of things it's not very clear which refers to but that's the highest monday figure ever announced and what it means is that right now you have right across germany the incidence of new infections per 100000 residents is at
11:22 am
a level which is considered to be very high risk indeed certainly here in berlin and the district that i'm broadcasting from right now well the risk status is very high indeed and that's why people in specific high risk groups are being recommended to wear mosques at all times that sort of thing the interesting thing here is the reaction to this being plunged back into lockdown many of the center in the center of politics grudgingly in favor of it because they believe the statistics suggest that lockdown is the way to go but you also see many others disagreeing with what's being implemented you see people on the right of politics the far right saying this is an infringement of personal liberties and then you have other voices saying that they. this is really damaging to germany's economy and you know that the previous lockdown force germany into recession so they're
11:23 am
